Du Yaoyao was so scared that she closed her eyes, and for a moment she suddenly thought that perhaps it was God's will and she would eventually die at his hands.
There was no pain as she had expected. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. The person holding her held his arms so tightly that she felt pain.
In addition to the thought of "death", Du Yaoyao also had a voice in her heart: Chen Jie would not let her fall to the ground, he would catch her, he would definitely catch her!
Du Yaoyao attributed the reason for his narcissism to: he loved her too much in bed.
Chen Jie didn't let go, and Du Yaoyao didn't dare to open her eyes or speak.
Yin Ye noticed that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly led everyone to retreat ten steps away.
"If you don't listen, I'll throw you to death!" Shen Jie's first words were harsh and serious.
Du Yaoyao felt aggrieved.
She had never been in a relationship, but she knew that in this situation, the boyfriend should not kiss, hug, and lift her up to comfort his frightened wife.
Besides, it was he who gave her the fright!
On the surface, they are a couple. Do they need to be so vicious? Even though she guessed that he was angry and said something without thinking, Du Yaoyao was still deeply hurt by his words. She struggled out of his arms and staggered a few steps on the ground.
She stood firm, raised her chin and retorted: "It's not what you want if I fall to death, it will make room for your white moonlight cousin!"
Du Yaoyao was so angry that she just wanted to fight back against Shen Jie with the same sharp words. On the other hand, the original owner died because of Lin Shuwan, and the murderer was pointed at Chen Jie, which was always a hurdle in her heart.
Shen Jie was speechless. He realized that his attitude was not very good. Du Yaoyao was not a subordinate that he could teach a lesson to in the Censorate, but her risky behavior of climbing up and down was really scary.
He softened his tone and stepped back, "Tomorrow is the New Year. It's unlucky to talk about death." He explained, "After marriage, Shuwan and I have nothing to do with each other."
Before his marriage, he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. After recognizing his relationship with Prime Minister Lin, his maternal ancestors, the Lin family, had promised him marriage with Lin Shuwan. However, Du Yaoyao got there first and the matter was dropped.
It happened three years ago, Shen Jie didn't understand why she brought it up again.
He bowed his head first. Du Yaoyao couldn't continue to be rude and unreasonable, and she didn't want to easily expose the truth. She picked up his words and said, "Didn't you say first that you couldn't kill me by falling?"
"I was wrong." Chen Jie apologized decisively and walked closer to Du Yaoyao. "I was hot-headed and my words were not what I meant. Yaoyao, don't be angry." He pulled her sleeve.
Du Yaoyao threw her hands away and groaned in grievance, "Just because you're angry, you can scold me like this?"
"Then you can curse back?" Shen Jie asked cautiously, coaxing: "Or you can hit me back, I promise not to curse back or fight back, Madam Shen, you are generous, don't bother with a stupid and rough person like me."
The shrewd man who investigates and judges cases now calls himself a "rough guy" in order to please women.
Du Yaoyao curled her lips.
Seeing that her complexion was better, Chen Jie stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her, "The Censorate is full of men. I usually speak directly and not very particular. I was careless just now. Don't take it personally, okay?"
What do you mean by being straightforward? You are the boss of the Censorate, and a higher-ranking official can crush people. Du Yaoyao responded reluctantly with "hmm".
Chen Jie didn't notice her perfunctory attitude, he moved his arms down and suddenly hugged her in his arms, tightly, with fear and cherishment.
"Yaoyao, you really scared me! You are the only one in my home..."
It seemed like he hadn't finished speaking, but Du Yaoyao understood what he meant by not making it clear.
——She is his only family left.
